Product Description
Product Description
James Taylor was the archetype for the gentle, inward-looking singer/songwriter movement of the early '70s. The easy lilt and timbre of Taylor's voice belies the complex emotional content of his songs, which aren't merely carefree folk-based odes, but instead look unflinchingly at a flawed man's journey through life. It's a tribute to his knack for making great pop records that he managed a long, decade-plus string of big hits.
Looking for a smart, never-out-of-style singer who turns in a perfectly solid collection of Christmas songs, including a few surprises? J.T. is your man on James Taylor at Christmas, which is nicely balanced between pop and jazz selections, with more stately hymn-like fare and balladry. Always fine in his charmingly understated voice, Taylor and company try out the old gospel standard "Go Tell It on the Mountain" and the memorable "Some Children See Him." He smoothly cuts through "Winter Wonderland" and "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" with a bit of jazz flavor, and reprises Joni Mitchell's increasingly popular Christmas song (even though it's about getting away from the holiday), "River." One of the album's most satisfying delights is Taylor's funky version of "Jingle Bells," sung in a kind of barroom stomp with the most intriguing phrasing since Barbra Streisand sang it in the '60s. Soulful and bright and moody as well (when Taylor sings "In the Bleak Midwinter," you believe it's indeed rough), there's barely a clinker here. -- Martin Keller

Diane Wakoski, described as an "important and moving poet" by Paul Zweig in the New York Times Book Review, is frequently named among the foremost contemporary American poets by virtue of her experiential vision and her unique voice. Wakoski's poems focus on intensely personal experiences—on her unhappy childhood, on the painful relationships she has had with men and, perhaps most frequently, on the subject of being Diane Wakoski. This is not to say, however, that her work is explicitly autobiographical. She has invented and incorporated personae from mythology and archetype as a liberation from what she has called the "obsessive muse," that spurs writers to face their personal terrors and turn them into art.
Occasionally some critics have found Wakoski's thematic concerns difficult to appreciate, especially the recurring "anti-male rage" theme noted by Peter Schjeldahl in the New York Times Book Review. Wakoski's poems, according to Schjeldahl, "are...

Welcome to Inland NSW!
Inland NSW Tourism is the regional tourism organisation (RTO) covering more than 25% of NSW, with a population base of more than 500,000 people, representing 27.5% of all tourism operators and destinations in NSW, and 34% of the Local Government Areas in NSW.
Created from the amalgamation of the former New England North West Tourism, Outback Tourism, seven Councils from the Central Tourism region and Capital Country Tourism, we represent Local Government Areas, tourism associations and individual operators.
We provide our members with professional development tools, research, advice and support to help us collectively achieve our goal of doubling overnight tourism expenditure by 2020.
The organisation was formed for the betterment of the local tourism community and provides improved access to funding and a stronger voice for the inland areas of NSW.
Inland's philosophy is:
- To grow visitation by "taking an outside looking in consumer perspective".
- Founded on insights identified in our customised consumer research program.
- Inland is not a consumer brand itself – but inspires consumers to visit the unique destinations and experience throughout our region.
- Championing "the unique story" for each destination (hub), destination cluster (spoke) and experience (story line) and niches across Inland.
So, if you are an accommodation establishment, restaurant, tour operator, tourism association, local government or any other organisation that benefits from increased visitation and expenditure to Inland NSW, we encourage you to get involved and become a member.

Morning ladies!! Still trying to think up a challenge or two. I have to run errands today so not sure how much scrapping I'm going to get done and have lots of houses to look at this weekend as we are hoping to buy in a month or so. So not sure how involved I'll be, but will be here to cheer yall on at least. Looking forward to a great crop!! Who's here???
Virtual Crop Check In:
I'm here!!!!! Whoo hoo! Wanted to pop online and kick off my first challenge. I need to feed us (me, Nat & Jack) then I have to get Nat to school. Then I'm back to work! I have to finish Nat's birthday card first though.
Here are my goals (completed goals in red):
1. Complete Natalie's birthday card
2. Paper piecing challenge layout
3. Halloween layouts (I have a TON of pictures printed, I need to figure out how to handle them all - I have three layouts I could do, but I kinda wanna merge it all into one layout)
4. Pumpkinville layout
5. Hershey Park summer trip (HUGE stack of photos for this, it's gonna be hard - I've been putting it off)
6. Digital layout for Hershey Park winter trip
7. At least two professional photo layouts (yes, my challenge was started because I'm hoping for inspiration) One done
Wow, I have some lofty goals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Goood morning! Just checking in on my way to work. I wish I could call in sick today. LOL! I won't be home until after 5:30pm, but have a great day! I'll catch up on everything tonight and this weekend.
I'm here but I am not.. lol.. Just jumping on the computer before work.. Blah I work at 6:00 am... but I probably won't be scrapping until tonight after 8:00 pm.... I am going to go get a crap load of pictures printed today Hope everyone has a great day!
I am here but I won't be scrapping for a bit. I have to meet my daily goal on ChaCha before I can play and I think we are going to take Jamie to the dr today for a nasty cough he can't seem to kick. After that I am going to scrap scrap scrap.
I'm here but still with no cricut I'll get what I can done without it. I'm off to work so I'll be back on later tonight.
I'm here sort of! I'll be lurking during the day and soaking up inspiration... have to work. Hoping to get a page done tonight, though!
I'm here but wish I wasn't (as in I'd rather be having this baby):) Not gonna get anything done till naptime or maybe tonight.
Heading to work in a bit here but I'll be around later and throughout the weekend :D. Looking forward to getting some stuff done, I have a decent pile of prints waiting for me.
I'm here I'm going to try and get some done today but if not later tonight and tomorrow while DH is home.
I'm here. Sorta, anyway! I was planning on some quality play time with the kids this morning because I cleaned a lot yesterday and left them to entertain themselves a lot. I've got some mommy guilt about that, so I want to make up for it at least a little! So maybe after DH gets home this afternoon I'll get started. Tomorrow I may be able to sneak in a layout or two early, but we are taking DS to see Nemo on ice, so that will take up the afternoon/evening. Hopefully I'll be around more Sunday/Monday!
Kebrina, what happened with your cricut? I saw your post that they are sending you a new one (I think?) but I must have missed the original post about what was wrong with it. Glad they are taking care of it, but wish you had it for the VC! I know that it seems nearly impossible to scrap without it once you are used to using it all the time. You can do it though!
Lena, hope you won't be able to join us! LOL
ETA: Gwen, can't wait to see your Hershey Park layouts! We go to Hershey Park fairly often...it's less than two hours from us. We have family in Hershey and we were just there this past weekend to take DD to see Elmo Live. We will often just go in the Chocolate World ride since it is free nad our kids are young enough to not even notice we're not going in the actual park. That would be funny if we were there at the same time.
I am hoping to be able to scrap some today but i have to head to the store to get me some adhesive to be able to do so.
im here! we have to grocery shop today (boo!) so i probably wont get to scrap until my little nugget takes a nap!
I'm here to chat today! I'm at work so no scrapping for awhile. I probably won't be able to scrap until Sunday afternoon and/or Monday. But I've got TONS to work on scrap-wise. Hopefully this will help break the dry spell!
Hi ladies! I will be scrapping at some point this weekend...and Monday I don't work but DS goes to daycare (since we pay for 3 days and we are going out of town wed. afternoon). So at the very least, I will have monday to finish up can't wait to see everyone's creations!
Okay, I'm here. Not quite in the mood for scrapping today, but think I make myself do one page, then more later. Hi everyone!
I'll be jumping in tonight after little man goes to sleep I cleaned extra during his am nap so I don't have to worry about it later!!
Kat - I did a bunch of chores while DS napped too...3 loads of laundry folded, another load in, dishwasher loaded, divided up and froze a big pack of meat...phew. Hopefully we can all get some scrapping work done too.
HELLO Finally I am done with my crazy day and able to join in the fun. I will be here most of the weekend but tomorrow morning I am going scrapbook shopping at my lss cause they are having a HUGE sale Then I am crossing my fingers that I get to go buy my new slr camera. Oh yeah, tomorrow is a good day. I have to take pics of what my prize is and then I will post my challenge
Wow, I haven't been on here in forever and the day I decide to come look around I see a VC!!! Would anyone mind if I join ya all for the weekend? Hope not, cause I'm excited!
morning ladies... im gonna be here off and on throughout the day. between laundry and dishes and of course time with X
Hello ladies! I haven't really spent any time scrapping yet! I was planning on doing some while the kids napped, except the kids decided that today wasn't a good day to nap! So i made with them (well, with Cadence at least!) that if gives me some time for scrapping then we'll go to the park.. so i sat down for about a half an hour to scrap but the sun has gone.. so it looks like i'm cutting my scrapping time out for now so i can take the kids to the park before it rains or gets colder. I hope to be back tonight though!!!

Is there any way to export an OU within Active Directory on a 2008 Domain Cobntroller to another 2008 Domain Controller on a different domain?
Sure - ldifde or csvde with do the export, you can clean up anything you like in the output file, and then use the same tool to do the import.
You could do an LDIF export/import to copy the users over using any tool you feel comfortable with.
However, of course your passwords will be lost, as will the SID's and remember to change the User Principle Name, since it will not make sense having the old domains in the new domain (though AD will accept any string for that value).
There is the ADMT (AD Migration Tool) which will update the sidHistory attribute with the old SID's so that if there are similar cross tree/forest trusts, which seem to use the SID as the identifier, they should continue to work on the newer domain.

I need to write server application that interacts with 3 types of clients: desktop app, mobile app and web front-end. Maximum number of concurrent connections would be 2 or 3 thousand. The approximate exchange format:
Desktop app (written in Python + PyQt)
a) Client: Data request Server: Data response
b) Server: Notify Client: Acknowledge
Mobile app (Android):
a) Client: Send data Server: Acknowledge
b) Server: Notify Client: Acknowledge
Web front-end:
a) Client: Data request Server: Data response
Data is selections from SQL and contains order info, customer info, gps data etc. I am planing to use json for data serialization, but I don't quite understand which underlying protocol and extensions should I chose. In case of front-end I want to use Tornado and implement the RESTfull api. I know, that it can be also used for other types of clients, but is implementing server to client messaging with Tornado a good idea? Maybe it is better to implement this with ZeroMQ (or another messaging system) or use raw TCP sockets? And how about Tulip, should I use it instead of Tornado?

Shenae Grimes in AG Adriano Goldschmied
90210 Star, Shenae Grimes hit Sunset Boulevard for a night out on the town, stopping at the club Trousdale. Shenae looked to be all smiles as some paparazzi stopped to take her photo, and she pointed and exclaimed in recognition. At least she doesn't look to be too bothered by the photogs compared to some celebrities!
Shanae looked cute in a flowy white top, leather jacket and gray destroyed jeans. Shenae's jeans are AG Adriano Goldschmied's premier jean in damaged black. I love how these are the perfect faded gray/black color, I think they'll be perfect for fall. You can buy Shanae's AG jeans on sale at NationalJeancompany.com for $125 reduced from $235.
Vanessa Hudgens in Siwy Cargos
Oh my goodness! How gorgeous are these cargos and how cute does Vanessa look wearing them?! I love them! I had no idea these actually fitted this way! Vanessa Hudgens was seen at a supermarket in Los Angeles, California yesterday picking up some groceries. I adore the outfit on her!
Vanessa chose a pair of cropped Valentine cargo pants by Siwy Denim which she paired with wedges, a looser black tank top with a belt and sunglasses. I think this is one of my favourite outfits I have seen her in, I just really love the way the cargos fit her. It's nice to see a different take on the pant other than the skinny ones. Buy these pants at Singer22 in 2 colours for $229.
Liam Gallagher Launches Pretty Green Denim
Liam Gallaghers clothing line 'Pretty Green' has just launched a brand new denim line. The line is called Pretty Green Black Label and they just released their Autumn/Winter 2010 Jeanswear. Each pair is easily identifiable by a unique Pretty Green lime green stained edge logo, embossed leather back patch, antique nickel buttons and rivets and a signature Pretty Green coated pocket stud.
As with the rest of the collection, the design process of the jeans was carefully monitored and developed by Liam Gallagher. The straight-cut fit was modeled on Liam's favourite shape and the wash was slowly perfected through a series of design trials. Available in a black 12.7oz denim and indigo 12.5oz denim, the jeans are made with a 2% lycra mix creating a comfortable fit and helping to retain the original shape.
The jeans RRP at £85 and are available from the Carnaby Street Store, Selfridges and www.prettygreen.com. What do you think of them? I think both pairs look quite nice!
Selena Gomez in AG Adriano Goldschmied
Selena Gomez goes out to dinner with her Wizards of Waverly Place co-star David Henrie. The two dined at Phillipe Chow restaurant in Los Angeles, California and ran to David's car to avoid the photographers. Selena is gearing up for the premier of her newest music video, "A Year Without Rain," which will premier on the Disney Channel on September 3rd 2010.
Selena looked ready for fall in an ensemble of skinny jeans, boots and a cropped plaid jacket. Selena's jeans are The Premier 2-way stretch skinny straight jean in 5 Year by AG Adriano Goldschmied. She's been spotted in AG's cropped jeans before. You can buy Selena's AG jeans at Revovleclothing for $225.

Increasing energy cost and advance in permanent magnet technology have provided the incentives to develop geometrically compact and energy-efficient electromagnetic (EM) actuators. Design of electromagnetic (EM) actuators often involves solving a magnetic field problem. This paper presents an adaptive meshless method (MLM) that inherits many advantages of the finite-element method (FEM) but needs no explicit mesh structure for design of EM actuators. Specifically, the paper offers a technique to estimate the distribution of numerical errors and a scheme that automatically inserts additional nodes to improve computational accuracy and efficiency. It gives several examples. The first three numerical examples, where exact solutions are available, provide a means to validate the adaptive MLM and evaluate its effectiveness against a regular MLM with a uniform node distribution. The other examples, where magnetic forces are computed from Lorenz's law, illustrate the use of adaptive MLM for practical design of an EM actuator. The paper compares the computed forces against published experimental results.

Blade 9, the latest MMORPG from the More Fun Online Group, is scheduled the launch on June 3, 2013. I'd like to offer some opinions on the game, but I haven't seen it in action yet so I really can't. That being said, it looks like your standard cookie-cutter MMO, albeit with some nice art. A sample is at this link (I'd post the image directly but there's some technical issues that I can't personally remedy):

One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2014
"This outstanding ethnography of contemporary urban Middle Eastern life focuses on Hezbollah young adults, about whom people are generally misinformed, an effort of critical value to scholars of religion and politics as well as anthropologists. . . . The authors brilliantly illustrate the variety and complexity of moral choice, ethnic insularity, and worldliness with respect to other neighborhoods and populations."Choice
"Leisurely Islam provides an interesting study of an area many people know very little about. It will interest scholars and students alike. While the book speaks particularly to those working on Lebanon and the Middle East, it will also be relevant to researchers dealing with issues regarding youth, morality, space and diversity in general."Marianne Holm Pedersen, Social Anthropology
"Overall, Leisurely Islam [is] a powerful, important, and well-researched text, the significance of which extends far beyond the realm of leisure. I attribute a great deal of the book's success to its multidisciplinary approach. The book doesn't neatly fall within the discipline of either author but instead draws upon the expertise of both. Perhaps more importantly, the book nicely integrates multiple forms of data, from religious texts: ethnographic data (both detailed observations and interviews); and market research (on cafes in Dahiya, size, location, etc.): to urban spatial analysis and so on. Brought together in a masterful way, this cornucopia of data enables the authors to paint a richer picture of Dahiya than would have been possible using any one methodology or data source alone."Jane Lief Abell, Allegra
"Particularly well referenced, with an unprecedented amount of information, this book is an important tool for those interested in this region."Erminia Chiara Calabrese, REMMM

Total Time
Prep 40 mins
Cook 45 mins
I love eating at Calhoun's when I'm in Tennessee! I was thrilled to find this recipe on their website! The quote that was listed with the recipe was "White Chili is the Signature Soup at Calhoun's and has been on the menu for almost 20 years."
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup onion, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cups water
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1⁄2 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1⁄4 cup canned diced green chiles
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
- 6 cups great northern beans, from canned
- 1⁄2 cup cornstarch
- 1⁄2 cup cold water
- Trim all fat and cartilage from the chicken breasts.
- Place on a baking pan.
- Bake at 325 degrees for 20 – 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked throughout.

- Continue to simmer until chili thickens, then remove from heat.
- Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro, Monterey Jack cheese, and sour cream.
Most Helpful
This was very good - going into my "Permanent Addition" cookbook. Instead of baking the chicken ahead, I cooked them in water to form its own broth. I took Kittencal's advice and replaced the garlic powder with fresh, minced garlic and added some red pepper flakes. Thanks for great recipe that I'll be sure to make over and over during the winter.
Absolutely awesome. Went to Calhoun's to do a taste comparison. This is very close! It's better the 2nd day and if you let it simmer for a while. I mash beans to thicken it instead of using cornstarch. Very very good! Thanks!!!
We never miss an opportunity to stop for their white chili. Sometimes two visits in the week we are there. Sooooo good. I am going to attempt it. I highly recommend it.

Effect of zinc on diversity of riverine benthic macroinvertebrates: Estimation of safe concentrations from field data
We conducted field surveys at 25 sites in three Japanese catchments to provide conservative estimates of the safe concentration of zinc (Zn) for the protection of riverine macroinvertebrate diversity. The relationships between the Zn concentration and six macroinvertebrate metrics for taxon richness were determined by using regression analysis; this included a piecewise regression model, where two lines are joined at an unknown point. For each metric the piecewise regression model with a zero slope below a threshold concentration was selected as the best model to explain the influence of Zn. Under the assumption that macroinvertebrate diversity reductions of <10% are acceptable, the safe concentrations of Zn were estimated to be 84, 115, 84, 80, 85, and 70 µg/L for total taxon richness, Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera (EPT) richness, mayfly richness, caddisfly richness, chironomid richness, and estimated total taxon richness at the riffle scale, respectively. These concentrations are more than twice the water quality standard for Zn in Japan (30 µg/L), suggesting that the standard is likely overprotective for macroinvertebrate diversity. Field studies are useful for evaluating the level of protectiveness of safe concentrations (water quality standards) based on individual-level effects from laboratory toxicity tests, and this evaluation process will have a crucial role in implementing more purpose-driven ecological risk managements that aim to protect natural populations and communities.

Something for the Weekend
This clip is the sort of thing you'd think only existed in the "What if?" fantasies of music nerds, but it actually happened.
This clip is the sort of thing you'd think only existed in the "What if?" fantasies of music nerds, but it actually happened.
Shirley Bassey's cover of "Something" got to #4 in the UK charts in 1970, the same spot The Beatles' original reached the year before. I never heard the Fab Four's version at the time and didn't for years, but my mother had a 45 of the Shirley Bassey which she loved so that was the version I knew growing up. I even heard it by Frank Sinatra before the original too.
As a result I thought of "Something" as an adult standard instead of a pop song, so to my ears George Harrison sounded too young to be singing it. The Beatles' version is great of course, but it feels more about the happy rapture of young love while Shirley brings a grown-up sensuality to it which I prefer. Instead of lovey-dovey infatuation, she sounds like she's singing about sex.

Early footage of Neil Tennant before he cut his hair, got into synthesizers, and changed his name.
I'm no expert on the oeuvre of Cheap Trick but I do remember their 1979 album Dream Police being poo-pooed by some critics because of its big production and strings which made them sound like a Power-Pop ELO. Now I don't know about you, but the idea of a "Power-Pop ELO" sounds great to me, and I've always loved every bombastic second of this record.
Download: Dream Police – Cheap Trick (mp3)
The new album by Miley Cyr… WAIT! COME BACK! COME BACK! Bear with me, I swear I haven't lost my mind.
The new album by Miley Cyrus is a collaboration with The Flaming Lips called Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz that also features Ariel Pink. Intrigued by this team-up and wanting to be hip to the zeitgeist I gave it a listen online thinking I would last about five minutes and need an ear bleaching after. But instead I discovered that… (whispers) it's actually quite good.
Well, about 75% good anyway. With 22 tracks clocking in at 92 minutes it's way too long and weighed down with Miley's self-indulgent need to keep telling us she enjoys sex and drugs. She obviously thinks this is edgy and controversial but instead I just want to give her a clip 'round the ear and wash her mouth out with soap. The album's rambling, druggy nature makes me think of it as her "Exile On Main Street" but The Stones were mature enough not to record stoner nonsense like "Fuckin Fucked Up" and "I'm So Drunk" — I don't think Mick Jagger ever sang a teary song about his dead fish either.
But cut out all that bollocks and you have a very strong collection of trippy spacepop that is as wonderful as you might think a young girl singer fronting The Flaming Lips would sound like. As the father of a young girl myself I have opinions about the way Miley dresses and behaves, but I do admire her balls in putting out something as quirky as this. As George Michael said, listen without prejudice.
Petite, beauty-spotted singer-songwriter Lynsey de Paul originally wrote this song for the vocal trio Thunder Thighs who were famous for their backing vocals on "Walk On The Wild Side" and "Roll Away The Stone." It was only a small hit for them in 1974, but the same year Lynsey put out her own version on the flipside of her theme song for the TV sitcom No Honestly which made the Top Ten.
She shouldn't have hidden it away like that because this is a terrific record. Not only is it miles better than the a-side, it's better than Thunder Thighs' version too: sophisticated, glittery pop you can imagine Sarah Cracknell singing. Despite its shiny surface the song itself is a strange, dark affair about a policewoman shooting a stranger in Central Park at night. Shame Lynsey didn't do more idiosyncratic songs like this and fewer themes for naff sitcoms — and made them a-sides.

Love this. A great Supersonic intro and one of the most sublime singles of the 70s.
Smokie (originally spelled "Smokey" until they were threatened with a lawsuit by a certain Motown legend) were a band from Bradford who had had been kicking around for years without any success before coming under the wing of the songwriting and production team of Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman in the mid-70s. Though "Chinnichap" were famous for the Bubble-Glam hits they penned for Suzi Quatro, Mud, and The Sweet, they showed their versatility (and smarts) by not forcing the denim-clad Smokie into this mould and instead wrote some laid-back, country-rock songs for them that wouldn't have sounded out of place on an American FM radio station.
There must have been a gap in the market for a Northern English version of The Eagles — grey Yorkshire houses on the album cover instead of California hotels — because they were very successful. Their second album Changing All The Time was a big seller in 1975 down to the presence of the Chinnichap hits "If You Think You Know How To Love Me" and "Don't Play Your Rock & Roll To Me." They also wrote the title track which is a really lovely song, hard to believe it's by the same guys who wrote "Blockbuster" and "Tiger Feet".
Because of those hits my sister got the album for Christmas 1975 as a present from our Gran. She was 14 at the time and up until then had only owned Bay City Rollers and Osmonds albums so this might have been her first non-"teenybopper" record. Two years later she was into The Clash, but I don't think Smokie were directly responsible for that. These days she really likes The Eagles which you probably can blame them for.

I've always loved the cover of this album, a nicely evocative bit of pre-Photoshop collage and hand-tinting.

Allaire will take on crimeFebruary 21,2013Allaire will
take on crime
In response to Stephanie A. Jones letter to the editor, I would like to respectfully disagree. While there have been some improvements in Rutland, the crime rate has gotten worse. I have lived here consistently for 43 years and also grew up in the same neighborhood. Im tired of the home invasions, drug dealings and vandalism that consume this city.
Dave Allaire has the insight and experience we need to address the crime issues in Rutland. By addressing crime and making this a safer area, the positive changes can also continue. Having a safer city will ultimately encourage more growth, business and a sense of community.
I am ready for a change. Thats why I am voting for Dave Allaire.

no deal for agger and kuyt... apparently the two are hungry for a long-term deal to tie them to the club, but due to the credit crunch, there may not be a deal in the offing.... personally, jose still feels kuyt is a useless donkey in the role rafa hands him, but has come to terms with the fact that rafa will never accept that kuyt is a striker and will ALWAYS start him on the right wing rather then get a TRUE winger.... but in any case, the two want a deal and are not getting it.... how does this affect the club? carragher's not getting any younger and hypia is past it.... which leaves just skrtel at CB..... obrigado friends!!!This topic is deleted.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Visited the 1st May 2016 with friends - Good bar on a festive street. Decent beer selection for a good value. Very friendly staff happy to share beer knowledge :). I really enjoy this night there. Good bottle selection with some treasure, I was happy to find Brewfist/Praires - Spaghetti Western Grappa BA ! Very various selection not so focused on the Italian scenic beer. Highly recommended.
pjvg (1) Buggenhout, Belgium | April 29, 2016
I got to know this place as a Belgian working in Rome for a couple of months. Allow me to be be blunt: this place has become my home away from home and if it was located in my hometown of Antwerpen I would drink my daily draught here. Period. The prices are more than fair, the staff knows their stuff and speaks decent English (especially Massi!) and I love the selection. the 8 (9 if you count the hand pump) beers on draft vary - literally - all the time and keep a good balance between English, American, German and Belgian styles, often coming from young and very promising Italian brewers. In the fridges the same theme applies: around 50-100 different brews are stocked. You can find stuff from a variety of producers including young locals but also classic Belgian institutions like De La Senne, Kerkom, Orval, Boon,... or the better international rising stars like abbaye de saint bon chien, Mikkeller, brewdog,... Perhaps the most important reason why I prefer this place over anything else in Rome: it feels very real. The people here actually love and know beer beyond the current hypes and they support their local scene. If you have the chance; get to Pigneto, grab a bite in one of the nice restaurants and visit Birra+. Ive been to beer bars all over Europe, but this is honestly one of my favourites.

Really enjoyed this place .. Its not a fashion beer bar or a cool place with nice interiors but it has a good feeling and you can notice in fews seconds after you get in that the place is rooted in this area of Rome .. The selection of 8 taps is always changing and well done .. Dont know if they serve food .. The girl behind the bar was kind and she knew her job .. There are some fridges with a lot of bottles without real rarities but good enough anyway ..
pixel20 (14) Warsaw, Poland | July 3, 2015
Very helpful staff, good place to have a beer after long walks around Rome.
olio (38) Tampere, Finland | April 4, 2015
A fairly small place with high interior, a few tables, more of a standing bar really. A decent tap selection of local brews with a decent bottle selection, nothing special available at the time of visit. Points go to the very helpful and cheerful personnel, not sure about their conduct on more crowded times though.
KansaiBeerLvrs (472) Kyoto, Japan | January 1, 2015
Down in Pigneto across the street from Il Porchettonis famous Porchetta(get a sandwhich!). A very nice looking new bar with a ton of bottles to go. The fridge by the door is the rare/pricey stuff while the other fridges and boxes along the high ceilinged walls hold the more regular stuff. Lots of imported bottles and Italian stuff, 9 taps plus a handpump and a good selection went I went including berliner weisse, kolsch, dunkel, IPA, saison, etc. Theres something to suit every taste. Not a must stop as it is a bit out of the way but easy to combine with Romes only brewpub Birstro. The vibe is as nice as Luppolo 12 but you have way more take out bottles available. Not a must visit but you wont be disappointed you made the effort. Solid.
Ragnampiza (20) Rome / Lecce, Italy | June 18, 2014
Its very hard to find negative aspects about Birra +. In fact, the positive ones are so many, that you can forget about everything else. 8 taps rotating so quick, always with interesting Italian or foreign beers. Limited beers or one-off as well. Perfect and friendly service, you wont get a pint if its not ready to be served. 0.33 - 0.5 and 1.5 servings, usually for almost all beers. On top of that, 3 big fridges with lots of interesting bottles, always fresh and more than fair priced, some rare and vintage as well. Being also a beer-shop, you can buy them and take them home. The place could be bigger with more seating, yes, the 0.33 glass could be cheaper, yes, but as soon as I enter this place, I couldnt care less about those small details. Totally recommended!

Happy Birthday to @TomHanks—a man as smart & generous as he is talented. Thanks for bringing Langdon to life. - DB https://t.co/lQX3pmkLCR
An abridged 'YA edition' of his 2003 best-seller will be published on 8th September in paperback form.
'The Da Vinci Code' author Dan Brown has announced that he'll be released an abridged version of his best-selling novel aimed at the Young Adult market later this year.
To be released through Penguin Random House UK, it is aimed at the 13+ demographic and will be published in paperback form on September 8th, with a subsequent release for e-readers in time for Christmas.
"It is my sincere hope that this adaptation of 'The Da Vinci Code' sparks in young adults the same thrill of discovery that I feel while exploring hidden history and the mysteries of the world we live in," Brown said in a statement, having made the announcement via Twitter on Wednesday afternoon (May 18th).

The actor will star in Ron Howard's third adaptation of Brown's Robert Langdon novels.
Tom Hanks has captivated us with his role as a brooding Harvard professor since 2006, when he appeared in the adaptation of Dan Brown's 'The Da Vinci Code'. Now on to the third film, he returns for another dose of menacing mystery, death-defying adventure and intellectual premise.
Tom Hanks will star in Dan Brown's 'Inferno'
'The Da Vinci Code' (Dan Brown's second novel) was a global phenomenon which portrayed Hanks' character Robert Langdon on a quest for the Holy Grail. The following prequel 'Angels & Demons', explored the creation of the universe and conspiracy within mankind. 'Inferno' - the third film directed by Ron Howard - takes another turn completely and sees Langdon with a lot more of a challenge on his hands.

The director opens up about his third Dan Brown film.
Ron Howard returns with more theology based mystery with 'Inferno'; the film adaptation from Dan Brown's series of Robert Langdon novels which will once again star Tom Hanks in the lead role. While you might guess there'll be more puzzles, narrow escapes from death and questions of faith, the director insists there's something a little bit different about this one.
(L-R) Tom Hanks, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Ron Howard, Omar Sy, Dan Brown and Felicity Jones
Probably best known for the second of his novel series, 2003's 'The Da Vinci Code', Dan Brown returned with 'Inferno' in 2013 - and there's little surprise that this is another to hit cinema screens. The Golden Globe nominated 'Da Vinci Code' adaptation was followed by a prequel - 'Angels & Demons' - which included themes of science, revenge and global conspiracy, much apart from the Holy Grail quest of the former. But now, with 'Inferno', the depths of the universe are even more closely explored.

Commander Raiden (Clive Owen) of the seventh rank is a skilled and gifted soldier, who rose from bloody battle during the Great Wars with an unwavering loyalty for his ageing but resolutely brave master Bartok (Morgan Freeman), despite the latter having been dishonoured and shamed by the corrupt ruler for publicly standing up for the rights of his enslaved people. After his brutal execution, all those firmly loyal to Bartok - led by Raiden - seek to avenge him in the only way they know how, with Bartok's warning of their ruler's merciless intentions strongly in mind. Raiden will lead them into the ultimate battle, in spite of their small numbers, having made far too many sacrifices in their lifetime. As his rebellion unfolds, he begins to understand that, despite what the rule claims, no honourable man can ever be 'dishonoured'; it is something inborn, and something worth fighting for.

EL James swaps her bondage whip for a rake as the dough comes flying her way.
They say sex sells, and now author EL James can attest, as the Fifty Shades of Grey creator perches on top of Forbes' author rich list. Amazingly, on the back of her raunchy trilogy alone, James has made more money than any other author in the past year, having earned $95m (£61.5m) from sales of her erotic fiction trilogy and the purchase of the film rights for $5 million (£3.2m).
EL James Is Exceedingly Rich.
What started out as Twilight fan fiction has seen the author's work rocket past Twilight author Stephenie Meyers (who didn't even make this year's top 15) in the last year's earnings to take the top spot on the business magazine's list. Her books sold faster than any other novel in history, with 70 million shifted in the first eight months of release in the USA and at its peak, the trilogy was earning her more than $1 million (£650,000) per week. The success of the 50 Shades trilogy was fostered by the ebooks market that enabled people to read her book in public places without feeling embarrassed to be seen reading such steamy fiction.

Mr. Hanks will be breaking codes once again.
Having starred in The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons, Tom Hanks will complete the trilogy of Robert Langdon movies when he stars as the inquisitive Harvard University symbolist in Inferno, set for release on December 18th 2015. The Hollywood Reporter had the date.
He'll always be little Forest to us
Despite a poor critical response for both of the previous Dan Brown-novel movies – The Da Vinci Code managed 25% on Rotten Tomatoes, while Angels & Demons only marginally improved on that with 37% - they have fared well at the box office, grabbing over $1.2b from conspiracy-hungry movie-goers, the type of which probably believe half of what's happening in the film, or can't understand it and think Langdon as a modern day Indiana Jones.

Inferno follows Robert Langdon again
Dan Brown – best selling author with over 200 million copies of his books swapping hands – released his latest novel, Inferno recently. He's opened up recently to NPR about being an author and his new book, expected to sell like the proverbial hotcakes, but better, like really hot, sweet cakes, that you can read, and keep.
"In any novel, you would hope that the hero has someone to push back against ... I find the most interesting villains [are] those who do the right things for the wrong reasons, or the wrong things for the right reasons — either one is interesting," he explains. "I love the gray area between right and wrong. Here is somebody who says we have an enormous population problem on this planet and everybody's turning a blind eye, and there are no simple solutions, but there is a solution. And while it's terrifying, maybe there's a silver lining to it. Maybe he's actually the good guy in all this." While the reviews for Inferno have been fairly strong, the critics suggest that this page-turner won't be in line for any literary prizes. Brown, it seems, has forgone the sculpture of literature in exchange for a bestseller – combing the two is something of a lost art.

Dan Brown's Inferno' - his sixth mystery novel - will see turtleneck wearing protagonist Robert Langdon tackle Dante's epic 14th century poem. Brown's new book was revealed during a social media announcement on Tuesday (January 15, 2013) during which Facebook and Twitter readers profile images were added as tiles in a web graphic, alluding to Dante's allegory of the journey through hell.
Harvard professor Langdon - played by Tom Hanks in The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons adaptations - will be adventuring through "the heart of Europe" this time around, where he will be "drawn into a harrowing world centred on one of history's most enduring and mysterious literary masterpieces." Dante's poem has been studied and scrutinised for hundreds of years - it depicts hell as nine circles of suffering located within the earth. "Although I studied Dante's Inferno as a student, it wasn't until recently, while researching in Florence, that I came to appreciate the enduring influence of Dante's work on the modern world," Brown said. "With this new novel, I am excited to take readers on a journey deep into this mysterious realm . a landscape of codes, symbols, and more than a few secret passageways." The poem offers up plenty of scope for Brown's polarizing style of writing and fans should expect plenty of puzzles, codes and symbols.
Brown - born in Exeter, New Hampshire - is one of the world's most successful authors, though is often derided by serious literary critics. He is, of course, the man who served up the line, "Physicist Leonardo Vetra smelled burning flesh, and he knew it was his own."
Continue reading: Dan Brown's 'Inferno' To See Robert Langdon Tackle Dante's Epic Poem
Da Vinci's Code writer Dan Brown has announced that he will be returning with a new book this year.
One of the biggest selling authors of all-time, his critically divided but commercially massive books – which also include Digital Fortress, Angels & Demons, Deception Point and The Lost Symbol – have sold over 200 million copies between them, with Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code both getting adapted into feature length films. The Independent reports that the latest of Brown's crime thrillers – his first since 2009's The Lost Symbol – will be released on May 14, 2013. His publishers have not revealed the title of the book yet, instead offering up secret codes and messages on social networking for fans to uncover, but it will once again follow the adventures of Robert Langdon – a mainstay in the series since 2000's Angels & Demons.
Currently a professor of iconology and symbology at Harvard, Brown's book will apparently be based on "one of history's most enduring and mysterious literary masterpieces". Intriguing. Meanwhile, his last book The Lost Symbol could well become the third book to be turned into a film; the previous two featured Tom Hanks playing Langdon, but were not universally well-received by the critics.

Jk Rowling's The Casual Vacancy looks set to continue her literary success with one million pre-orders already having been made.
Following the massive success she had with her Harry Potter franchise which continues to reach out to fans with the new interactive website Pottermore.com even after the release of the last book and film, this modest author's new ventures definitely look just as promising. It is expected to become the UK's best seller of 2012 with The Bookseller charts editor Philip Stone telling AFP 'It's one of the biggest releases of the 21st century' and predicting an immediate place at number one. It certainly has the credentials to become the next big hit in literature with it being the most pre-ordered book at Waterstones this year and with Rowling's last book, 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows', selling 2.5 million copies in the UK just in the first 24 hours.
However, she has some serious competition. She is yet to break the record for the most hardback sales of an adult book in the first week (given that 'Harry Potter' was a children's franchise) which currently stands at a massive 550,000 for Dan Brown's 'The Da Vinci Code' sequel 'The Lost Symbol'. She is also to match the global phenomenon that is 'Fifty Shades of Grey' by EL James which has so far sold 5.3 million. One Waterstones spokesperson has expressed doubt that Rowling will even match her own success records with 'A Casual Vacancy' and admitted, 'It is not in the league of 'Harry Potter'.'Will JK Rowling's The Casual Vacancy Storm 2012's Bestseller Charts?
